It's not unusual for larger schools to have different admissions requirements for different programs, said David Hawkins, director of public policy and research at the National Association for College Admission Counseling.
Hawkins also said some schools may consider a student's other interests or goals in determining what that student might do for a particular program or major.
"If you have a passion, whether or not you want to major in it, you want to clearly articulate that in your application for admission," Hawkins said.
